Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.) has tested positive for COVID-19, and will miss President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Correa, 62, tested positive on Jan. 15, nine days after he and other legislators had gathered in Washington for a joint session of Congress to count electoral votes. He didn’t shelter in place with colleagues on Jan. 6 when protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol; his office said he stayed outside to help the U.S. Capitol Police.
